machine name using DHCP

[mis]

I am obviously having a moment because for the life of me I can't remember how to set the machine name if I am using dhcp. We had a brown out or something and did something bad to each pc booted. Crapped out musicmatch on the g/fs pc and on the 2000 one it took the internet away till I had reset the modem, router and hub twice AND reset the monitor settings so I had to resize the screen again. Now I can't get things to work right on the RH7.3 one since the name is localhost again. URGH !!!!

If your dhcp daemon is dhcpcd:

dhcpcd -D sets domainname from dhcp server
dhcpcd -H sets hostname from dhcp server

I run "dhcpcd -DH", cause my KDE has DCOP issues

If you're not using dhcpcd, run "man <your daemon> and see what it says.
